i call bs on that, unless you hit someone that has already taken damage. head shots with snipers are usually a one hit kill, but body shots tend to do between 65% and 95% damage. depending on what gun you are using. the barret only does 95 damage. but it has range and accuracy.

Maybe the numbers don't add up, but 90% of the time I shoot someone with a shotgun with slugs and magnum ammo, I get a one-hit-kill. I do get headshots a lot of the time with it, and it's just more useful in my opinion. I hate scopes because of the limited vision when you're using it. You can shoot a lot faster with it, and hip shots are just as accurate also. You can clear a building, then sit and snipe with it.

oh yeah, i have only played a couple hours in single player, but holy balls, it was crazy. not crazy like the ex-gf that sneaks into your room while you sleep, but crazy as in so awesome i was tempted to stay home "sick" from work today, lol.

Just stating the obvious, it'll sell way more copies which makes it better. It's also not nearly as ridiculously slow paced and 'hardcore'. And at least the campaign won't be a bunch of regurgitated and recycled stereotypical characters and storylines.
